Now that I have FreeBSD 3.4 up and running and have sucessfully
compiled the kernel, I need to find a way to get a good backup of my
system. So far, I've only found limited information on this topic in
the Handbook and The Complete FreeBSD. I don't have a tape drive hooked
up to my PC. I could probably get one but that would entail a lot of
work. I'd have to locate and install a SCSI card for it, recompile the
kernal and complete the rest of the configuration so that the drive
would be recognized. We have some 3480, 3490 and 3570 drives in our
data center that are hooked up to the network. Could I use dump or tar
to do a backup directly to one of these drives. I know I can also
backup to a file. Could I backup to a file and then use NFS or Samba to
copy it to a directory on one of our NT servers and then possibly, back
down to one of the tape drives? There seem to be several options for
doing backups and I'm just trying to find the best one. Any info on
this would be appreciated. Thanks.
Joe
